ITHACA, N.Y. — The two-time defending Ivy League champion Cornell men’s basketball team will make its home debut against one of the top non-conference opponents to visit Newman Arena in many years when Seton Hall visits on Friday, Nov. 20, at 7:00 p.m. Barry Leonard will provide the call on 93.5 WVBR-FM, which can be heard live on the internet as part of the RedCast subscription service. The game is also being televised on Time Warner Cable Sports.
After consecutive wins over Alabama and Massachusetts to open the season, Cornell wants another chance to pick off a major conference team, but this time looks for a signature victory at home. The Big Red was sensational at home a season ago, outscoring its opponents by more than 18 points per game. Cornell enters the season with a 21-game home win streak at Newman Arena.
The senior trio of Louis Dale (18.5 ppg., 4.5 apg.) Jeff Foote (13.5 ppg., 8.0 rpg.) and Ryan Wittman (13.5 ppg., 4.0 apg.) rank among the top players at their positions in all of college basketball and provide the Big Red with options at every position group.Seniors Mark Coury, Alex Tyler and Geoff Reeves, juniors Max Groebe and Adam Wire, sophomore Chris Wroblewski and freshman Errick Peck round out the rotation through two contests.
The Pirates also enter the contest with a perfect 2-0 record after opening the season with a narrow 53-51 win over Saint Peter’s on Friday, Nov. 13, with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, then earned a dominant 87-72 triumph at Monmouth on Sunday, Nov. 15.
